IT'S BEEN 53 YEARS

February 16, 1963

LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

FRANK VALOIS

SWEDE HANSON

BILLY TWO RIVERS

SANDY and GEORGE SCOTT

The Canadian brother team of GEORGE and SANDY SCOTT will return in tonight's two-out-of-three fall wrestling main event at the LEXINGTON YMCA after an extended absence and will have their hands full when they meet rough guys SWEDE HANSON and TONY ALTAMORE.

Mohawk Indian sensation BILLY TWO RIVERS faces MARK STONE in the semi-final match.

A rugged Canadian, FRANK VALOIS, makes his local debut when he squares off against the Spanish hero EDUARDO CASTILLIO in one of two preliminary matches.

The opening encounter pits 'Tiger' JACK VANSKY opposite DOUG KINSLOW.

The card gets underway at 8:15 sharp.

Tonight's program will close out wrestling at the YMCA for two weeks because of upcoming basketball tournaments. Wrestling returns to LEXINGTON on March 9.
